I used to have jealous feelings about the glorious houses on the hill until one day I heard a true story of a God serving little family in another country. They lived in a humble dirt floor shack. In one corner was a twin bunk bed where the four kids slept together on the top and the mom and dad shared the bottom bunk. Another corner had a small shelf that held their dishes and what food they had. I was humbled by my want for more - i had 1000 square feet of carpeted, heated and cooled home with conveniences AND two toilets. How could I want for "more" when I already have more than most of my sisters and brothers in the world. I can feel for you in your come to Jesus meeting.<br />Becca Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07489114463978827767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-14484959241621233732017-11-13T09:00:54.551-05:002017-11-13T09:00:54.551-05:00Oh my goodness... when I sat down to write this I ...Oh my goodness... when I sat down to write this I had no idea so many of you would take something away from it and I am SO grateful to get such heartfelt feedback. Truly. I've never wanted to be just another food blog with recipes and canned writing ("I love cherry pie. Do you love cherry pie? If you love cherry pie you will love this cherry pie."). I love people and living this life and engaging with other people and learning about new things and experiences.Thank you for taking the time to comment - you've made my day :)Mandy Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06710513097645421429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-23920974495881751722017-11-13T07:35:12.730-05:002017-11-13T07:35:12.730-05:00Mandy, I don't know which I adore more, your m...Mandy, I don't know which I adore more, your musings or your recipes. This morning (and really as always), it was a strong tie. Sitting quietly in the early morning, listening to The Rankin Family, sipping my coffee, and reading your Dollar General experience, and I recognize an intense feeling of thankfulness. You have a gift with words and the work you put into your blog, recipes, and family is greatly appreciated.Corey Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042218664976185151noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-54463655610441235182017-11-11T06:24:34.426-05:002017-11-11T06:24:34.426-05:00Thank you!

Things have been going bad for me for some time now, every since February when I lost the use of both my legs. You have shown me that I need to look at the good things in my life and all the things I should be thankful for. Thank you for your story.<br />My Deepest Gratitude,<br />Joan Abbott Joan Abbottnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5848110156569017758.post-18603722040141999452017-11-10T10:37:40.786-05:002017-11-10T10:37:40.786-05:00Love, love, love everything in your post!!Love, love, love everything in your post!!Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12109326255439890505noreply@blogger.com
